Two vulnerabilities were discovered in the implementation of the Perl programming language :

  - CVE-2012-5195     The 'x' operator could cause the Perl interpreter to     crash if very long strings were created.

  - CVE-2012-5526     The CGI module does not properly escape LF characters in     the Set-Cookie and P3P headers.

In addition, this update adds a warning to the Storable documentation that this package is not suitable for deserializing untrusted data.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201401-11 (Perl, Locale Maketext Perl module: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Perl and       Locale::Maketext Perl module. Please review the CVE identifiers       referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A context-dependent attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with       the privileges of the process or cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2013-340:01 advisory.

    Perl is a high-level programming language with roots in C, sed, awk and shell scripting. Perl is good at     handling processes and files, and is especially good at handling text. Perl's hallmarks are practicality     and efficiency. While it is used to do a lot of different things, Perl's most common applications are     system administration utilities and web programming. A large proportion of the CGI scripts on the web are     written in Perl. You need the perl package installed on your system so that your system can handle Perl     scripts.
    Install this package if you want to program in Perl or enable your system to handle Perl scripts.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
     CVE-2012-5195     Heap-based buffer overflow in the Perl_repeatcpy function in util.c in Perl 5.12.x before 5.12.5, 5.14.x     before 5.14.3, and 5.15.x before 15.15.5 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service     (memory consumption and crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via the 'x' string repeat operator.
     CVE-2012-5526     CGI.pm module before 3.63 for Perl does not properly escape newlines in (1) Set-Cookie or (2) P3P headers,     which might allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary headers into responses from applications that use     CGI.pm.
     CVE-2012-6329     The _compile function in Maketext.pm in the Locale::Maketext implementation in Perl before 5.17.7 does not     properly handle backslashes and fully qualified method names during compilation of bracket notation, which     allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands via crafted input to an application that     accepts translation strings from users, as demonstrated by the TWiki application before 5.1.3, and the     Foswiki application 1.0.x through 1.0.10 and 1.1.x through 1.1.6.
     CVE-2013-1667     The rehash mechanism in Perl 5.8.2 through 5.16.x allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of     service (memory consumption and crash) via a crafted hash key.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Oracle Linux 5 / 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2013-0685 advisory.

    - Resolves: #915692 - CVE-2012-5526 (newline injection due to improper CRLF       escaping in Set-Cookie and P3P headers)
    - Resolves: #915692 - CVE-2012-6329 (possible arbitrary code execution via       Locale::Maketext)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

A heap overflow flaw was found in Perl. If a Perl application allowed user input to control the count argument of the string repeat operator, an attacker could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2012-5195)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way Perl's rehashing code implementation, responsible for recalculation of hash keys and redistribution of hash content, handled certain input. If an attacker supplied specially crafted input to be used as hash keys by a Perl application, it could cause excessive memory consumption.
(CVE-2013-1667)

It was found that the Perl CGI module, used to handle Common Gateway Interface requests and responses, incorrectly sanitized the values for Set-Cookie and P3P headers. If a Perl application using the CGI module reused cookies values and accepted untrusted input from web browsers, a remote attacker could use this flaw to alter member items of the cookie or add new items. (CVE-2012-5526)

It was found that the Perl Locale::Maketext module, used to localize Perl applications, did not properly handle backslashes or fully-qualified method names. An attacker could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary Perl code with the privileges of a Perl application that uses untrusted Locale::Maketext templates.
(CVE-2012-6329)

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in perl :

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Perl_repeatcpy function in util.c in Perl 5.12.x before 5.12.5, 5.14.x before 5.14.3, and 5.15.x before 15.15.5 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via the 'x' string repeat operator (CVE-2012-5195).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Updated perl packages that fix multiple security issues now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6.

Updated perl packages fix security vulnerability :

It was discovered that Perl's 'x' string repeat operator is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow. An attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code (CVE-2012-5195).

The _compile function in Maketext.pm in the Locale::Maketext implementation in Perl before 5.17.7 does not properly handle backslashes and fully qualified method names during compilation of bracket notation, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands via crafted input to an application that accepts translation strings from users (CVE-2012-6329).

In order to prevent an algorithmic complexity attack against its hashing mechanism, perl will sometimes recalculate keys and redistribute the contents of a hash. This mechanism has made perl robust against attacks that have been demonstrated against other systems. Research by Yves Orton has recently uncovered a flaw in the rehashing code which can result in pathological behavior. This flaw could be exploited to carry out a denial of service attack against code that uses arbitrary user input as hash keys. Because using user-provided strings as hash keys is a very common operation, we urge users of perl to update their perl executable as soon as possible.
Updates to address this issue have bene pushed to main-5.8, maint-5.10, maint-5.12, maint-5.14, and maint-5.16 branches today.
Vendors* were informed of this problem two weeks ago and are expected to be shipping updates today (or otherwise very soon) (CVE-2013-1667).

CVE-2012-5195 Heap-based buffer overflow in the Perl_repeatcpy function in util.c in Perl 5.12.x before 5.12.5, 5.14.x before 5.14.3, and 5.15.x before 15.15.5 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via the 'x' string repeat operator.

CVE-2012-5526 CGI.pm module before 3.63 for Perl does not properly escape newlines in (1) Set-Cookie or (2) P3P headers, which might allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary headers into responses from applications that use CGI.pm.

CVE-2012-6329 The _compile function in Maketext.pm in the Locale::Maketext implementation in Perl before 5.17.7 does not properly handle backslashes and fully qualified method names during compilation of bracket notation, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands via crafted input to an application that accepts translation strings from users, as demonstrated by the TWiki application before 5.1.3, and the Foswiki application 1.0.x through 1.0.10 and 1.1.x through 1.1.6.

CVE-2013-1667 The rehash mechanism in Perl 5.8.2 through 5.16.x allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and crash) via a crafted hash key.
